A sculpted serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems swell into flared endings rather than using bracketed serifs, giving the letters a cut, chiseled look and crisp silhouettes. Curves are broad and controlled with tight inner counters, while joins and diagonals stay clean and decisive. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with a single-storey “a” and strong, upright stress; numerals follow the same high-contrast, sculptural rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, magazine titling, brand marks, and premium packaging where its dramatic contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for posters and pull quotes, especially when generous tracking or leading is available to keep the texture from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, leaning toward fashion and magazine sophistication. Its crisp wedges and high-contrast drama feel ceremonial and premium, with a slightly theatrical presence that reads as confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact serif voice that blends classical letterform structure with sharper, more sculptural terminal treatment. Its consistent flaring and contrast suggest a focus on distinctive display typography for elevated, attention-grabbing applications.
At display sizes the pointed terminals and narrow apertures create striking texture and punchy word shapes; in dense settings the tight counters and spiky details can make the color feel intense. The capitals are especially commanding, with wide bowls and strong vertical emphasis that hold attention in short lines.
